The Chinese government runs espionage operations and supports transnational crime at tremendous cost to the American economy. The surge of Chinese illegal immigration from 2021-2024 is just one more tool for China to seriously threaten our national security and public safety.

FAIR is excited to announce that it has now integrated IRLI’s litigation and investigations programs into its core operations.

The number of sanctuary jurisdictions has surged over the years, increasing from fewer than a dozen in the 1990s to 564 in 2018. According to FAIR’s latest tally, as of May 2025, at least 1,003 sanctuary jurisdictions in the United States shield illegal aliens from immigration enforcement, openly undermining the rule of law.

The Trump administration has committed to taking bold action to secure our borders and restore safety to American communities by enforcing our immigration laws to ameliorate the crisis caused by more than 10 million illegal border crossings over the past four years.

FAIR presents this Immigration Reform Agenda for the 119th Congress as a guide for ending illegal immigration, reducing legal immigration to a more sustainable level, and lessening the impact of mass immigration on all aspects of society—thereby lifting the burden on the American taxpayer and improving our quality of life.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) now estimates that a record high 18.6 million illegal aliens are living in the United States. That figure represents an 11 percent increase since FAIR’s last estimate of 16.8 million in June 2023 and a 28.2 percent increase over the four years of the Biden administration.
